Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels 1050mm box lintel is an ideal structural solution for builders and masonry contractors working on 200-215mm solid wall constructions. It provides significant load-bearing capacity for floor joists, attic trusses, and roof loads while remaining lightweight enough for easy manual handling on-site. While it offers excellent durability due to its galvanised finish, users must ensure it is correctly specified for the specific load requirements of their structural design.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this lintel suitable for cavity walls?

No, this specific product is engineered exclusively for solid wall masonry constructions.

What is the recommended end bearing?

A minimum of 150mm of end bearing on each side of the opening is recommended for standard installations.

Can I use this for roof truss support?

Yes, it is designed to support attic trusses and roof loads, provided the load does not exceed the lintel's engineered capacity.

Does it require special painting before plastering?

The integrated plaster key allows for direct plastering, though you should ensure the surface is clean and free of site debris first.

What wall thickness does this support?

It is designed to fit 200-215mm solid wall constructions.

Troubleshooting

Lintel appears misaligned during installation

Check that the masonry seating is level and provide additional bedding mortar if necessary to achieve a perfectly horizontal plane.

Signs of surface rust after site exposure

Lightly wire brush the area to remove surface oxidation and apply a high-quality zinc-rich galvanising touch-up paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction reduces on-site manual handling risks
  • Galvanised finish provides excellent protection against the elements
  • Versatile support for both concrete and timber floor loads
  • Integrated plaster key simplifies the finishing phase of construction

Cons

  • Specific to 200-215mm solid wall widths
  • Requires precise structural calculation to confirm suitability for specific load types
  • Not suitable for cavity wall applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure the lintel has a minimum end bearing of 150mm on each side of the opening. It is compatible with standard 200-215mm wall thicknesses. Always verify that the lintel is level during installation to ensure equal load distribution. While the galvanised coating provides significant rust protection, avoid cutting or welding the lintel on-site, as this can compromise the protective barrier; if damage occurs during handling, apply a cold-galvanising spray to the affected area immediately to prevent future oxidation.
